Better than average
Contrary to some reviewers opinion I felt the 12 year old Charlotte carried the movie. If you don't have kids you may not understand how much Charlotte is like most kids her age. She is coming of age and wants to be noticed. She wants her opinions to matter. She obeys her parents about as much a most kids her age do. A pet spider shows just how bored she is. The character development is good between her and her stepfather and she grows to realize the danger in Sting's existence. The discovery of Sting's dislike for mothballs is hilarious. The grandmother's dementia add intrigue to the movie after she calls exterminators again and again not remembering that she called at all. There was enough jump scares to make the movie entertaining. After all this not intended to be a documentary it's ment to entertain and that it did!
